Chapter 1648: Latent

Among the woods outside Moth City, Rhodes waited quietly, without the slightest anxiety in his heart.

What reassured Rod a little was that after coming to the illusion, because he was no longer affected by the gluttony contract, his body was always hungry, and at this time he was relieved, and there was no real hunger, which also saved Rod a lot of trouble.

For some reason, when he came to the illusion, Rhodes always felt that his left shoulder was a little itchy, and when he looked down, the pus that had grown after receiving the inheritance was even more bulging, as if something was about to change.

It's a pity that for this unique ability, or extra power, Rod still doesn't know how to use it, and the information about the inheritance quest has not been fully unlocked until now, perhaps only as Rhodes' size further increases, the power of the pustule will be revealed.

In the illusion, Rode, who has no hunger, no matter how much food he eats, he can't improve his attributes like the outside world, which also makes Rod feel a pity.

Shaking his head, outside the magic dock, there are still a large number of demon corpses, but it is a pity that with Rhode's current strength, he can't defeat Anyavili who has those demon corpses, maybe he can only wait until he completes this trial, and then think of other ways.

Just like that, in the bushes, while thinking about the situation of this trial, while observing the people outside the city, it didn't take long for Rhodes to observe, the crowd outside the city suddenly increased.

People had gathered in a clearing outside the city, whispering that they were just ordinary civilians, judging by the clothes they were wearing. According to Rhodes' previous observations, the location where these civilians gathered should have a small wooden frame.

The abnormal changes that occurred in front of him immediately attracted Rod's attention, and he ignored the danger of being discovered, and came to the edge of the bushes to take a closer look under cover.

Fortunately, at this time, the attention of the nearby civilians was all attracted by the wooden frame they surrounded them, and Rhodes, who was hiding by the bushes, was not at all conspicuous and was not discovered by these people.

After waiting for a moment in the woods, seeing that the civilians over there were gathering more and more, and the guards at the city gate were also much lax, Rhodes had just had the idea of taking this opportunity to enter Moth City, but he stopped his movements.

With the words of a richly dressed old man in the crowd, soon, bursts of black smoke rose from the wooden frame in the center, and under the light of several guards, a raging flame burned under the wooden frame.

It wasn't until now that Rod noticed that a human being was tied to the wooden frame at some point, and under the wrapping of the crowd, Rod didn't even find it before because of the distance.

Without the blessing of Eagle Eye, Rhodes' vision was extremely limited, and the things he could observe were no different from other creatures.

No matter how much the basic attributes of the body are improved, it will not affect the field of view, and only a few treasures, as well as the existence of the Eagle Eye Technique, can help with this.

Also due to the distance, Rhodes couldn't hear the old man's words, and didn't understand why the men burned the man in it, but it was supposed to be related to the heretics mentioned in the mission brief.

Burning the infidels was the punishment used in ancient Erathia. In Erathia's most glorious era, necromancers and pagans alike would have been terrified at the mention of this punishment, but unfortunately, as Erathia's glory was gone, the power of the mages gradually manifested itself in the world, and this punishment was forgotten.

Rhodes didn't expect that he would be able to see this special punishment again in the illusion at this time, which means that the illusion is likely to be the most glorious era of Erathia.

In addition to the creatures that were about to be burned to death, Rhodes noticed the defensive strength at the edge of the wooden frame.

On the periphery of the crowd, there were many well-armed crusaders wearing full-body armor, who had already done the most rigorous protection, and in addition, even among the civilians, there were a few secret sentinels who hid their identities, and they were constantly making eye contact.

This discovery suddenly made Rhodes realize something.

The person in the wooden frame who could be burned to death by the nearby humans was most likely a heretic, that is, the sinner who asked Rhodes to complete his mission.

But at this time, Rhodes did not dare to approach the infidel. Judging from the circumstances around him, the purpose of the infidel was not simply to burn him to death, but to lure out other pagan accomplices hiding in the shadows.

After discovering this, Rhodes calmed down and observed in the forest with peace of mind.

There was plenty of time to complete the mission, and he didn't have to take such a big risk when the mission had just started and no useful information had been gathered.

The black smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and the man on the wooden frame struggled violently, but to no avail, the flames had reached the man's ankle, and Rhodes had been waiting quietly.

At this moment, it seemed that something had been discovered, and Rod was overjoyed. There was a sudden upheaval in the crowd, stemming from several creature creatures with dark red skin.

Seeing that the man was about to be burned to death, several civilians nearby no longer disguised, and the skin belonging to the human was torn open, revealing the dark red body below, which was a sign of a demon.

Rhodes was extremely familiar with this form of demon, they were none other than the Abyss Demons.

The appearance of demons caused the crowd to flee, and several even fled in the direction of Rhodes. The crusaders outside the field, after discovering these demons, immediately greeted them with weapons, relying on the advantage of numbers and the sharp blades in their hands, they pressed these demons into the upper hand for a while.

Fortunately, the purpose of these demons was not to destroy the nearby crusaders, and with their strength, there was no way to do so. The reason why they chose to reveal their identities was to rescue the man on the wooden frame.

With the combined efforts of the Abyssal Demons, the wooden frame in the field fell to the side, and the demons held back the burning flames and freed the man on the wooden frame.

And in the bushes on the side, after Rod casually dealt with a few humans who might have found him, his expression changed suddenly, and he felt a powerful aura approaching.

According to Rod's prediction, the level of strength corresponding to this breath should have reached the level of high-level creatures, and it is only one step away from legendary creatures.

If it were to change to this body, Rhodes would naturally not be afraid, but for him at present, it would be difficult for even the previous high-level demons to defeat him, let alone this high-level creature that was about to enter the legendary level.

I didn't expect that in the trial of sinful karma, there would be creatures of such a level, and I didn't know how many high-level creatures there were behind it, which also made Rod vigilant.
